I am asking my fellow member of the 15 Minute SCRAP Bee to make these blocks for me. First they construct the green blocks form scraps and then they use the "water" fabric I sent them to make them into "Lake" and "Island" blocks. I'm imagining this to be an airplane's view of the vacation lands of Minnesota, where I grew up, and Michigan where I am now living. I plan to put the Island blocks together into a great big lake in the middle of farm/forest lands. Sort of like Lake Michigan.

Made these for the April SCRAP Bee collection. A requirement of this Bee is that you start with "made" fabric.
And I get to design and receive the blocks for May -- so I am trying out some ideas, starting with these:

Tomorrow I'm going to cut into them. . . . wait and see!

Looking out the kitchen window, I'm glad to see the mini-daffodils are making a show, the grass is green, and maybe the willows are even starting to turn yellow. Still pretty "brown" around here. The deciduous trees are bare.
Makes it VERY hopeful to see the daffodils!

I had a four day visit with my friend Sue in Richmond, Virginia, and spring is much further along there. The azaleas were popping their bright pink in many yards. And the DOGWOODS! Wow, everywhere.

I'm behind on learning the music for Women's Chorus, and we are singing five songs at our rehearsal church this Sunday. So I'll be busy with thtat this week.

About Me

I'm retired and spending more time making quilt tops, almost all for charity. I live on a little lake with my husband Charlie, who has retired from being Rector of an Episcopal church for 30 years, and our dog Zeke. We have two grown children and three grands.
